Etude théorique et possibilités d'application de la méthode de «variations continues» [1] aux complexes très dissociés

A theoretical study of the possibilities of applicability to very unstable complexes of the «continuous variation» principle shows that the general equation of a theoretical Job's curve can be reduced, for limiting values of x and 1 ? x (x being the ligand's mole fraction), to expressions permitting the determination of the number «m» of the central groupes, the number «n» of the ligands, and the stability constants of highly dissociated complexes. Theoretical and practical limitations are discussed.     

Etude du mécanisme de la réaction de hantzsch des thiazoles. I. Mise en évidence et détermination des produits intermédiaires et de dégradation

The Hantzsch thiazole synthesis from α-haloketones and thioamides, proceeds via intermediates that can be isolated under certain conditions. These have been identified, mainly by nmr spectroscopy, as thioimidate derivatives. The chain or cyclic structures of these compounds depend upon the nature of the substituents. Their dehydration gives together with the expected thiazole, secondary products which have also been isolated and identified as α-mercaptoketones and α-ketothiolesters.     

Copolymerisation radicalaire du méthacrylate de méthyle et du chlorure de vinylidène avec ou sans dérive de composition

Two sets of methylmethacrylate-vinylidene chloride copolymers were prepared via radical copolymerization in dimethylformamide. The first set is carried out in batches. Gas-chromatographic analysis of samples allows a kinetic study from which the reactivity ratios r_M - 2.73 and r_C - 0.24 are derived. For the second set a new apparatus, briefly described, has been used. It permits to keep constant the composition of the monomer mixture, through addition of methyl methacrylate, monitored by a chromatographic analysis. The two sets of copolymers are analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (60 MHz) leading to the triad distribution, from which the reactivity ratios are derived. Owing to the composition drift, the method cannot be applied to the first set of copolymers; but in that case, it is possible to calculate the triad distribution, the knowledge of the reactivity ratios, and the calculation fits quite well the experimental results.     

Exposé d'une méthode de détermination des orbitales virtuelles pour les interactions de configurations. Application à l'etat fondamental de l'atome de béryllium

A method for the determination of the virtual orbitals for configuration interaction is described. This method is a generalization of the one used by Watson in 1960 for the ground state of the beryllium atom. The important point in the method is to complete the set of functions used successively. As an illustration the method is applied to the ground state of the beryllium atom. The method seems to be efficient.     

L'action de l'ammoniac sur l'hydroxyde de cadmium et la stabilité des complexes en milieu aqueux

The solubility of precipitated Cd(OH)₂ was determined at 25°C in 1 M NaClO₄, as a function of pH and of the ammonia content of the solutions. Formation constants were obtained for the following hydroxo, ammine and hydroxo-ammine complexes: CdOH⁺, Cd(OH)₂, Cd(OH), CdNH, Cd(NH₃), Cd(NH₃), Cd(NH₃) and Cd(OH)₂NH₃. The solubility product of the hydroxide was also calculated. The presence of polynuclear species was investigated by titrimetric determinations of the hydrogen ion concentration at constant metal concentration.     

Nature et stabilité des complexes métalliques de cryptands dinucléants en solution. III. Le monocycle [22]-Py2N4

Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution III. The Monocycle [22]-Py₂N₄ The nature and stability of complexes formed by a new 22-membered monocycle L = [22]-Py₂N₄ with the cations Mⁿ⁺ = Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺ have been determined in aqueous solutions (0.01M NaClO₄, 25°) by pH-metry and also, for the copper system, by UV-absorption spectrophotometry. The stepwise protonation constants of the four amine functions of L were 9.1, 8.3, 7.1 and 3.7 logarithms units, respectively. No evidence was found for the protonation of the two pyridine nitrogen atoms. Mononuclear complexes MLⁿ⁺ were identified in all systems investigated, but the dinuclear species M₂L²ⁿ⁺ were only found with Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺. The logarithms of the overall stability constants for the copper and silver complexes are CuL²⁺, 12.9; Cu₂L⁴⁺, 18.6; Agl⁺, 6.3; Ag₂L²⁺, 10.9, respectively. Mononuclear hydroxy species MLOH^(n?1)+ were identified in all systems except those of copper and silver. No dinuclear hydroxy complexes were detected. The complexing properties of L are compared to those of the large and less rigid bis-dien.     

Analyse en spectroscopie infrarouge, de la structure des complexes BF3 du méthanol, des méthanols deutériés et de l'acide acétique Comparaison de la liaison hydrogène et de la liaison donneur-accepteur

A study of the infrared spectra led to the conclusion that the 2-1 complexes formed from two molecules of methyl alcohol or acetic acid and one molecule of BF₃ have an open structure. One methyl alcohol molecule is linked by hydrogen bonding to a second molecule which is attached to BF₃. The consequences of the addition of BF₃ to the OH (OD) vibrators are similar to those of the formation of a hydrogen bond: elevation of the wave number of the in-plane bending vibration and lowering of the wave number of the stretching vibration compared with the monomer.     

Synthèse du mèthyl-1 diformyl-2,3 pyrrole,de la méthyl-1 pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyridazine et de la méthyl-1 oxo-6 (6h)cycloheptatrieno[b] pyrrole

This communication describes the synthesis of l-methyl-2,3-diformylpyrrole. This new compound is used to prepare a new heterocycle, l-methylcyclohepta[b]pyrrol-6-one and thus allows a new synthesis of l-methylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

Utilisation des déplacements chimiques induits par les lanthanides a la détermination de la structure de benzothiénopyridines

Lanthanide-induced shifts provide a convenient method for total assignment of ¹H nmr spectra of benzothienopyridines and determination of the substitution sites. Evidence of the effect of steric hindrance around the site of complex formation on the spatial localization of the lanthanide ion is given.     

Nature et stabilité des complexes métalliques de cryptands dinucléants en solution II. Polythiamacrotricycles et monocycles apparentés

Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution II. Polythiamacrotricycles and Related Monocyclic Subunits The stability constants of the Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ complexes of the cylindrical macrotricycle 1a (1,7,13,19-tetraaza 4,16-dioxa 10,22,27,32-tetrathiatricyclo[17.5.5.5]tetratriacontane) have been determined by pH-metry, as well as those of the Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺ complexes of the monocyclic subunit 2a (1,7-dimethyl-1,7-diaza 4,10-dithiacyclododecane), in aqueous solutions (NaClO₄) at 25°. In the Cu(II) systems, equilibria were reached slowly, and the results established by pH-metry were confirmed by UV/VIS spectrophotometric studies. The tricycle 1a forms dinuclear cryptates with copper and silver, with overall stability constants log β₂₁₀ (Cu₂- 1a )⁴⁺ = 18.5, log β_21-2 (Cu₂- 1a (OH)₂)²⁺ = 4.8, log β₂₁₀(Ag₂- 1a )²⁺ = 23.0. Ag⁺ also forms a mononuclear (Ag- 1a )⁺ complex, with log β₁₁₀ = 13.1, but no mononuclear species were detected in the Cu- 1a system. The absorption spectra of the bis-Cu(II) complexes of 1a and 2a in aqueous medium, MeOH and propylene carbonate (PC) are given, as well as those, in MeOH and PC, of the bis-copper complexes of the related monocycles 3 and 4 (1,7-diaza-4,10,13-trithiacyclopentadecane and 1.10-diaza 4,7,13,16-tetrathiacyclooctadecane, respectively), and tricycle 5 with two benzyl groups in the lateral chains. The complexing properties of the polyoxa- and polythia macrotricycles (Parts I and II of this series) are compared to those of other bis-chelating ligands, the bicyclic bis-tren and the monocyclic bis-dien.     

Détermination du Site de Protonation de l'Azido-2 thiazole et du Thiazolo[2,3-e]tétrazole à Partir de la Largeur des Raies des Signaux Protoniques

The signals of protons bonded to carbon atoms in α position to the pyridinic nitrogen atom in thiazole and in γ position in thiazolo[2,3-e]tetrazole are broadened. This broadening disappears on irradiation at the ¹⁴N resonance frequency, on cooling, and in an acidic medium (in which the protonation sites in both molecules can be determined).     

Calorimètre pour la mesure des chaleurs de mélange des liquides

A calorimeter has been designed for measuring the heat of mixing of liquid systems, which eliminates the need to correct for changes in the composition of the vapour phase on mixing. Improved accuracy has been obtained. It permits the measurements of thermic effects of the order of 0.005 joule, corresponding to temperature differences of 10^?4 of a degree. Heats of mixing have been measured for the system hexadecane-hexane, the results of which are highly satisfactory.     

Nature et stabilité des complexes métalliques de cryptands dinucléants en solution. I. Polyazapolyoxa macrotricycle cylindrique et monocycle constitutif

Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution. I. A Polyazapolyoxa Cylindrical Macrotricycle and its Monocyclic Subunit pH-metry and UV spectrophotometry were used to study the complexing properties of the cylindrical macrotricycle, 1,7,13,19-tetraaza-4,16-dioxa-10,22,27,32-tetraoxatricyclo[17.5.5.5]tetratriacontane ( 1 ) and of its constitutive monocyclic subunit, 1,7-diaza-4,10-dioxacyclododecane ( 2 ) with some transition and heavy metal cations (Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ag⁺), in aqueous medium 0.1M Et₄NClO₄, at 25°. The protonation constants of the ligands as well as the nature and the stabilities of the complexes formed in the pH-regions studied were determined. The tricycle 1 only formed dinuclear M₂L complexes with Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ag⁺, accompanied in the latter case by a protonated mononuclear MLH species, and with Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ at high pH-values by dinuclear hydroxo complexes. Only mononuclear complexes were evidenced with the other cations, ML being accompanied either by protonated or hydroxy mononuclear species. The mononuclear complexes of 1 , when they existed, were more stable than the corresponding complexes of 2 , except for cobalt which formed complexes of comparable stability with both ligands. In the other cases (Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ag⁺), the stability differences between the complexes of 1 and 2 increased with the size of the cation.     

L'action de l'ammoniac sur l'hydroxyde de cobalt(II) et la stabilité des complexes en milieu aqueux

From the solubility of precipitated Co(OH)₂ (s) determined radiometrically as a function of pH and ammonia content of the heterogeneous systems, the formation constants have been obtained for the following mononuclear hydroxo-, ammine- and mixed hydroxo-ammine-complexes: Co(OH)₂, Co(OH)₃^?, Co(NH₃)₂²⁺, Co(NH₃)₃²⁺, Co(NH₃)₄²⁺ and Co(OH)₂ (NH₃)₂. The solubility of cobalt(II) hydroxide has also been calculated. The medium was 1M NaClO₄ and the temperature 25° C.     

Groupes de départ inhabituels lors de cyclisations dans la série des quinoxalines,II [1]

Quinoxaline-3-ketones substituted by different groups in position 2 (I) are easily cyclized by hydroxylamine and phenylhydrazine to form isoxazolo[4, 5-b] quinoxalines (II) and pyrazolo [3, 4-b] quinoxalines (III) respectively. The reactions proceed via the oximes resp. phenylhydrazones. Groups displaced are not only the customary leaving groups of aromatic S_N2 reactions (halogens, OH), but likewise H, COOH, CONH₂, CO-Ar, and, less easily, benzyl groups; methyl and phenyl groups were not displaced. The displacement of hydride ion in the presence of excess of hydroxylamine resp. phenylhydrazine is explained in terms of an extension of the theory of osazone formation.     

Utilisation du calcul des modes normaux de vibration pour la détermination de la conformation de la glycylglycine et de la triglycine en solution aqueuse

The valence force field of α-glycylglycine was applied to different G matrices calculated for several values of the dihedral angles ψ₁, φ₂ and ψ₂. The relations v_i = ?(ψ_i,φ_i) obtained for different isotopic species were compared with the experimental frequencies of the aqueous solution thereby giving the absolute value of the angles. A complementary study by means of depolarised light scattering led to the determination of their sign. These relations were then used in the conformational analysis of triglycine in aqueous solution. The conformation of glycylglycine differs strongly in aqueous solution from that in the solid state, especially concerning the relative positions of the peptide and carboxylic group (φ₂ = ?70° and ?160°). For triglycine, we showed the existence of a chelated ring “C₇” similar to that observed for the acetylated dipeptides.     

Nouvelle méthode de détermination des taux de réativité des copolymères par résonance magnétique nucléaire: Application aux poly(méthacrylate de méthyle–chlorure de vinylidène)

Constant-composition copolymers of methyl methacrylate and vinylidene chloride produced by radical copolymerization are studied by ¹H-NMR at 60 and 250 MHz. The different methods of the literature for the derivation of reactivity ratios from either the copolymer composition or the sequence average lengths, or even the diad distribution, are applied but lead to rather dispersed results. A new graphical method is proposed, based on the use of peculiar values of the triad distribution functions. It allows us to detect a penultimate effect for the vinylidene chloride-rich region. In the same range, a change in tacticity of the diads and triads on the methylmethacrylate sequences, as compared with homopolymers, is observed; it suggests that the anomaly is caused by the competition of the depropagation reaction.     

Sur l'acylation des méthylfluorènes III [1]: Benzoylation et acétylation du méthyl-3-fluorène

Benzoylation and acétylation of 3-methyl-fluorene according to Friedel-Crafts in carbon disulfide with aluminium chloride yielded the corresponding 2-acyl derivatives. By oxidation the benzoyl derivative gave 2-benzoyl-9-oxo-fluorene-3-carboxylic acid, cychsable into the known 2,3-phthalyl-fluorenone. By Clemmensen reduction, the acetyl derivative gave 3-methyl-2-ethyl-fluorene.
